Mr. Cardiac

Nah, Jennifer Charles from Elysian Fields. You also hear her on "The Circus" on this record, and "Bad, Bad World" off of Psychopharmacology.

The most notable difference between Jennifer Charles and Courtney Love is that Jennifer Charles is talented.

Is the woman who sings this Courtney Love?

Probably one of Firewater's less obvious songs. It seems to be written from the perspective of a woman who uses sex appeal to get money from men. It's possible that this could be about an ex of Tod's, but I think it's more a song written in jest. Chameleon Man is a reference to a Cop Shoot Cop song, Tod's previous band. OP spelled "succubus" wrong in the lyrics. A Frigidaire would be a specific brand of refrigerator; there's possibly a deeper meaning to that line, but I'd say the point is that she's trying to say she isn't cold and mechanical, and of course she isn't; she's a hot, predatory creature. Ticker tape was an earlier form of communications, used to transmit stock info, so besides being a pun for a further cardiac reference (ticker = heart), it's also a reference to her interest in getting money unfairly, ie not doing any work but just getting it from her men. I still don't understand the references to hearts, though. Is it an appeal to romance? Meh.
